A Relaxing Morning at the Skytree

We arrived before 10:00 AM on a Thursday in early October, and we didn’t have to wait for the elevator. The viewing platforms were mostly empty. Even though it’s much shorter than the Skytree, with platforms at 150 and 250 meters, it offered a unique view of Tokyo. On this clearer day, we spotted Mt Fuji in the far distance, as well as the downtown area and across the river to Minato City. This made the Skytree a more relaxed experience. I appreciated its Eiffel Tower-like design and bright red color. It's accessible via a stop on one of the hop-on hop-off bus routes, and while it is a bit of a walk from the nearest metro station, it’s still worth visiting. Thank you.
